Navy, lightning delays hamper FAU's Kiffin debut
BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Lane Kiffin was determined to finish his first game as Florida Atlantic head coach, no matter how long it would take.
Turns out, it took nearly six hours thanks to three separate lightning delays.
Navy beat Florida Atlantic 42-19 in a game that ended at nearly 2 a.m. ET Saturday morning. Kiffin said he would not do anything different.
"I don't know any other way to do it," Kiffin said. "I thought we were still going to win. I thought we'd make the 2-point conversion ... go to a three-score game, get an onside kick, still 12, 13, 14 minutes at that time, I would never do anything different."
